I am attempting to make my Focusrite iTracksolo USB interface work with Realband or BIAB. I am unable to make the ASIO interface work. I am running BIAB 2010.5 with Windows 7.

Steps taken so far: Downloaded and installed the USB 2.0 drivers from Focusrite website, set my control panel to enable iTracksolo, and set drivers in BIAB (and realband) to use ASIO.

Results: No input or output via the itracksolor interface, or any BIAB audio output when set up this way. When I revert to speakers/laptop mic inputs (no usb interface) that works: so issue is not BIAB or a laptop issue.

By the way, instructions say to disconnect IOS device (iPAD) which I've also done. On the road the ipad set up works just fine, But at home I want to directly use BIAB/Realband using the PC interface.

Any advice or similar experience out there?

Hi Tom,

You might get quicker and more help if you post this in the BIAB or Realband forum.

My Emu was very finicky and I had to disable the windows on board realtec audio sound in device manager for it to play nice in XP. On win 8 it works fine - go figure...

Anyway there are way more tech savvy than me around here - an understatement. LOL! Just want to make sure they see your post asking for help and that's why I suggested asking in the other forums.

Thanks,
I reloaded drivers and rebooted computer, that seemed to make drivers work. I found that suggested on another site.

I have found that it is imperative that I first physically connect any USB sound device to the computer before starting up Band in a Box or the program can't recognize the device.

Apparently, when BB is first started up on a session, it looks for available sound devices and if my USB devices are not plugged in and recognized by the os, they may show up in the bb selection menu as highlighted, but they won't work.

Maybe that's an issue at your end, thought I'd mention it just in case.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
